Looking at public profiles is one thing… requiring people to switch their profiles to “Public” so they can be looked at seems like another thing. How is that even enforceable? What if they find some profile that happens to have my name and

Makes sense. The protocol is certainly local only. And I guess once added, there’s no need to rip HomeKit support out. My iHome devices have been similarly abandoned but still work just fine. I guess I’m conditioned to expect this stuff to

If they do in fact continue supporting HomeKit, this isn’t the worst way to EOL the product. I’d love to see them all updated to support matter before being put out to pasture, though I’m sure Belkin feels that’s difficult or impossible for

I figured other way around… Kids These Days might be more likely to have heard of a “flip phone” than “t9” and thus “engage” with this “content”

A wise elder once advised me that if I learned to work quickly and comfortably with an application’s defaults, I would be just as quick and comfortable on any system I would likely encounter. Very zen. Great advice.

I was visiting my kid’s class one day. They were using some YouTube product that seemed oriented at schools, that I’d never seen before. An ad would pop up, and one of the kids (whosever turn it was next?) would run up and tap the skip ad b

I appreciate that you are taking the time not only to do the work but to document your experience and share it.

It was pretty easy for orgs with affected systems to produce concrete examples for themselves. Maybe to everyone else it seemed vague, but for the people who had to deal with it, it was taken pretty seriously from top to bottom. It was than

I said “Freznul” for Fresnel in front of a lighting designer. He said “ah! So you’ve been reading!” I remember that now when someone pronounces something as it’s spelled. They’ve likely been studying by actually reading something, and there

Counteranecdata: I use Orion every day as my daily driver on my work machine, together with Bitwarden for passwords and a couple simple extensions. I can’t remember it crashing or failing to render a page, and at least on my apple silicon m

Trying to use Kagi with other browsers lays bare the depth of collusion between browser makers and search providers. Getting out from under all that makes Kagi a whole lot more seamless and useful. It’s ironic that it is its own tight collu

I'm still in the habit of granting Cloudflare a presumption of good faith. Developers frequently make assumptions about things like browsers that can cause problems like this. Something somewhere gets over-optimized, or someone somewhe

Is it correct that iCloud backups can lead to officials being able to unlock your physical device? That’s not consistent with my understanding of Apple’s circle of trust implementation. I get that the backups can potentially be compromised,

I’m not saying who or when or whether this ever actually happened, but there were kids in my hometown who would do this but announce to each location “please hold for a call from the regional manager” or something equally officious, then pu

Thanks at least for citing a reference and not just saying “language evolves” or something.

Those interested in this kind of pedantry might also take care to note that it’s called “daylight saving time,” with no “s.” It is a system of time for saving daylight. It is not a sales event promising “savings.” Frustrating to read an oth

I’ve heard what the article describes about specializing being the way to go. In the US, insurance is also a huge pain in the ass; doctors have to fight to get paid as often as we have to fight to have things covered. There’s also the overh

Alone time I find quite valuable. Every now and then I find myself with a day or two by myself, having no expectations, nobody to have to coordinate with, nowhere to be at a particular time. It’s incredibly resetting. I know it’s valuable b
